The part about Jones driving to the hospital to see his newborn baby, and how that was supposed to be something special... so you're telling me him doing what any decent father would do made such an impression on you that you can't hold him accountable for his actions today?

Big difference spitting on someone if HIV positive and know it making it a felony versus spitting on someone.

I think you are wrong, no felony unless HIV positive and knowingly spit on someone.

But to the OP. I too thin MB and ML are too tolerant. Jones should be gone.

 But,I think the Steelers tolerating a multiple accused sexual predator is worse.

So something better than that. Not "well at the time, all that it shows is his language".
True, but he's saying he wishes those cops would die.

So maybe something like "His words to the police does not represent what our organization stands for".

But, here we are. There's a lot of unhappy fans. And rightfully so.

Adam Jones simply isn't a good person. He's both an embarrassment to this city, this team, and this league, and he's a menace. He's a piece of filth who has brought physical injury upon numerous people, and has inconvenienced and disrupted countless more.

I'm now left wondering just how good of a person Marvin Lewis is. It's bad enough you have a coach who is such a spineless loser. It's hard to stomach having such a failure as our coach. A coach with a terrible personality. Those are all bad things. But to now learn that he's a piece of shit too?  Because only a total piece of shit describes this whole situation the way he just did.

**** Adam Jones, and **** Marvin Lewis. And **** this family and their Mickey Mouse franchise. What a bunch of low-lifes.

But I suppose anything other than "Adam didn't do nuffin" would've been an improvement.

Didn't you want Adam gone yourself? So why defend the defense?

Sorry Fred, but this is an asshole statement on your part.  The police were not out of line that night, there are no questions that they abused him or his rights.  If anything, they seemed to show great restraint.  And yes, and organization like the Bengals, one that represents the city, should support their local law enforcement.
